They did this on Myth Busters and they broke down the ingredients in the soda and determined it was one of the synthetic sugars that acts a preservative that reacts with the Mentos. They tried several different types of soda too and found out that diet coke has the most of the particular chemical that reacts to the Mentos and produces the best eruption. They also found out that the white Mentos worked the best, something about the stuff used to color them makes the reaction less spectacular.
Just drop them into a bottle of diet coke.

Simply open up a bottle of Diet Coke and drop in a Mentos and stand back, it really does work and is spews pretty high.

doesn't have to be diet coke....any carbonated drink should do. They have played with this quite a bit on the Dicovery Channel show "Mythbusters"
